Due to potential irritation, I wouldn't particularly recommend it for dry or sensitive skin.

It seems effective for improving skin texture. The skin feels smoother.

비타민A 세럼

It's essential to use this product only at night.

Don't worry about it being too oily due to the coconut oil content. Once applied, it actually feels extremely dry... So if you have very oily skin, this alone might be sufficient for you.

I've used this product for four bottles now. Among vitamin A serums, I chose this one because it has the least problematic ingredients. It's also quite gentle, so I've been able to use it consistently.

I wish there was more detailed information about the product. I've heard that vitamin A can interact with quite a few ingredients, so it would be helpful if they could provide warnings about potential incompatibilities.

I can really feel my skin improving! It seems to be helping with my pores and complexion, and I love that it's not irritating at all.

You can buy this at a lower price on iHerb.

Don't pat it in, instead gently massage it into your skin for better absorption!

Maybe it's because of the vitamin A, but the scent wasn't to my liking!

I think I didn't know how to use it properly at first. It's not a serum that absorbs easily, so I used to pat it in. But I found that gently massaging it in actually helps it absorb better, and I noticed a difference the next day.

After using this serum, I felt like my skin became more youthful. My pores seemed to shrink, and my skin felt smoother. If I continue to see improvements with consistent use, I'd definitely consider repurchasing!

With regular use, I've noticed a definite brightening effect. I plan to buy it again. When applied along with ointment on acne scars and redness, it seems to gradually improve the condition.

Initial review - I bought this expecting it to help with brightening and acne scar fading, but I couldn't really notice much effect... I hardly saw any difference before and after application. Since I've only used it for a few weeks, I'll update if I notice any improvements with continued use.

1. Be cautious when purchasing as there are reports of counterfeit Mad Hippie products being sold. You can buy genuine products from iHerb or the official Naver store.

2. Use only at night, and always apply sunscreen the following day!

3. When storing, keep away from direct sunlight and store in a shaded area.

4. As it contains Vitamin A, start by applying every other day to allow your skin to adapt, then progress to daily use. To prevent pilling, wait 10 minutes after application before applying moisturizer.

1. Texture
Based on point 3 in the positives, you might experience some dryness.
The product description claims it provides deep hydration, but it doesn't quite live up to that level.

2. Effectiveness
As with any skincare product, there are limitations to home care and restrictions on ingredient concentrations in non-pharmaceutical cosmetics, so dramatic results can't be expected. Even higher concentration retinol products show only subtle effects with long-term use, so I didn't feel a strong need to consistently use this particular product.

0. Reason for purchase
I bought Mad Hippie products to prevent photoaging with Vitamin C during the day and improve wrinkles with Vitamin A at night. I chose this Vitamin A serum as a gentler alternative to retinol products, which I was hesitant to use due to potential side effects. Since Vitamin A skincare is known for both wrinkle improvement and acne treatment (by reducing sebum production), I hoped to achieve both benefits.

1. Ingredients + Gentleness
Being vegan and free from harmful chemicals, parabens, synthetic dyes, and fragrances, it absorbs gently into the skin. I was pleased to find that it's not just gentle, but also contains 9 effective ingredients including a new form of Vitamin A and sodium hyaluronate.

2. Scent
While it had a natural scent from its ingredients rather than an artificial fragrance, I enjoyed its refreshing orange-like aroma.

3. Texture
It controls facial oiliness to a pleasant, refreshing degree without being excessive, leaving a slightly invigorating feeling.

I haven't particularly noticed anything special. The ingredients are good, with many skin-friendly components.

I'm really enjoying using this product. It's effective and, most importantly, it seems great for anti-aging.

I've heard that Vitamin A is sensitive to UV rays, so I only apply it in the evening.

There's nothing I'm particularly disappointed about! The effects have been so impressive for me.

I ordered this product in a trance after hearing about how amazing Vitamin A is for the skin. I was hoping it would have some effect on my pores, and wow - using this product while managing my sebum has made my skin look truly fantastic. My sebum control routine includes sebum extraction, The Ordinary's Niacinamide, and applying this Vitamin A product. I've seen such incredible results that I'm definitely going to keep using it!

It's perfect to use in the evening, followed by a hydrating moisturizer to seal it all in!

There's a slight sensation of pilling, but I found that exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and allowing enough time for absorption makes it work just fine. This is definitely something to keep in mind!

I discovered this product through recommendations from popular YouTubers. When I apply it at night, I'm always pleased with what I see in the mirror the next morning. I've been using it even when blemishes appear, and each time, I can't help but feel like they're calming down - though it might just be my imagination!

I usually buy it when there's a discount code on iHerb. I think I've always managed to get it for around $20-30.

I don't have any complaints yet. I've been using it for quite a while, so the amount seems sufficient.

I'm on my second bottle and I believe consistent use will improve wrinkles and elasticity, so I'll keep using it. When I apply it at night, my skin feels noticeably better in the morning.

For the best results, I think you should use this together with a cream!

It's expensive, way too pricey. The cost is too high for the amount you get. I switched to something else after using two bottles...

I used this with a cream and it's perfect for brightening up tanned skin. It really evens out the complexion.

Don't use this with AHA/BHA products. My skin had a bad reaction

The ingredients seem gentle and effective for acne-prone skin

However, there were quite a few downsides! I kept using this product because it made my skin brighter, but when I woke up in the morning, my skin was all blotchy. When I cleansed and used an exfoliating toner in the morning, it stung so much! I'm not sure what the problem was. So I had to stop using the product!

I have dry skin! I loved how this product brightened my complexion.

I bought this based on a YouTuber's recommendation, but it completely wrecked my skin. It's been a week and my skin still hasn't recovered...

There wasn't really anything good about it... If I had to pick one thing, maybe how quickly it absorbs..?
